Christie's sought advice on the matter (from kids within the company) and were told to choose scissors, because "Everybody expects you to choose rock."

Bonanza Jellybean:Dana White and the Fertittas have in their contracts that any disputes over the direction of the company (ZUFFA, which owns and operates the UFC) will be settled by a grappling match.

Do I have the option of greasing them all up first? Do I have the option of selection of the warehouse in which the battle takes place? Am I allowed to lock the doors from the outside, so that none of the contestants or the audience can escape when I decide to cleanse...
